Learning Objectives
- Explain the level of thermal performance that can be designed into an insulated metal panel (IMP) roof system, supporting the creation of a highly efficient building envelope.
- Describe the qualities that insulated metal panels possess that allow them to provide continuous insulation to the building envelope, satisfying building codes.
- Provide examples of how insulated metal panels provide the continuous air and vapor barriers in the roof or exterior wall system, managing the movement of air and moisture in the building enclosure.
- Identify the several ways that the selection of insulated metal panels support sustainable design criteria.
